muikabochi 208 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 good to see a lot more there now. More! I think it just started with SJ-David taking photos of it since however many years back, as the guys were based in Yuzawa. Made famous by SnowJapan. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 11, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2013 The Box on 9th January 2013 It has been snowing since so hopefully looking a bit better this morning, but we are firmly bunkered down in Minamiuonuma at the moment and so can't get a shot for at least a few days.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 11, 2013 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2013 That's Route 17 there of course, to the left is Minamiuonuma (and closeby Ishiuchi Maruyama) and to the right is Yuzawa (closeby Gala Yuzawa). That mountain is Iiji-san, and is the mountain separating Maiko Snow Resort and Iwappara. In fact, it's the very mountain we used in our logo there. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Honestly, it's looking pretty miserable at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites

SKI 15 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looks like best part of a week before we can expect much more to cover it up as well. Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Just not quite getting there so far this season - although I went to Kagura this weekend and last, and both days were amazing - deep powder and blue skies, so can't complain! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Balls - not looking too good there. I should get dancing again. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Maybe tomorrow I can post a Yamanashi phone box pic as we are supposed to be getting pounded with tons of snow tonight and tomorrow if it comes off that will be really cool. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Went skiing at Kurumayama today and although the slopes has a decent cover the edges and surroundings were thin on the ground. Hopefully tonight that will change. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I went past the box today. I should have taken a pic on the way to Iwappara but thought I would on the way back but there were a few workmen trucks there and about 10 people in that little layby so couldn't stop or take a pic. I hope the box is ok. From what I saw earlier though the box is "openable" again and a fair bit less than the previous photo. We're still much lower on snow than usual.
